  1. I stayed up to the early hours of the morning just wanting Tom Watson to win the British Open. When he missed that putt to put him into the playoff with Cink I knew he was ‘sunk’. I didn’ want to watch him lose so I went to bed. He has my admiration and respect as a golfer and a gentleman…..there’s always next year.

  2. GOLF
    is a cross-country game in which a player strikes a small ball with various clubs from a series of starting points (teeing grounds) into a series of holes on a course. The player who holes his ball in the fewest strokes wins. The origins of the game are difficult to ascertain, although evidence now suggests that early forms of golf were played in the Netherlands first and then in Scotland.

  3. El golf no es deporte, el golf es Ocio, y una completa porqueria para vagos sin oficio ni beneficio.
    Los vagos que practican esa porqueria ¡son tan flojos!, Que necesitan de un carrito de golf para no caminar de la misma vagancia y flojera que tienen.
    Malditos vagos golfistas de su gran remariconadisima mierda. Me tienen harto estos vagos parasitos golfistas, sin oficio ni beneficio.

  4. i will try it, have heard many secrets, the real secret is can you make your body do it.
    have heard he is actually kind of a jerk when the camera is off, not like lee trevino or anything, but kind of a jerk none the less?

  5. This is interesting…..Just watched a video by Ben Hogan and he started his legs moving very fast before his shoulders…just like Tom demonstated the way he used to do it and Jack always did. Today’s players all keeping their legs very quiet and turn at the shoulders the same way Tom does it now.

  6. An old golf buddy of mine (pro) has a pretty good program out now that guarantees you’ll get under 80 in two weeks. Golferbreak80dotcom

  7. Have never heard anything of the sort and, after watching The Open this year, couldn’t bring myself to believe it, anyway.

  8. yea rite. under 60 in 3 weeks maybe?

  9. Tried it. Works like a charm. This guy is a class act and a genius.

  10. I’m glad I watched this.I’m gunna grag a club right now and try..

  11. im going to go down to my car right now and get a club and try it out!!!

  12. The shoulder turn is old news. It is part of the pivot motion. However, I contend that focusing on this alone is a quick-fix solution that will last only for a few rounds. Tom is absolutely right, but the golf swing also involves correct positioning of the arms, hands and club at various points of the swing. You can turn your shoulders perfectly as Tom described, but you can also snatch the club too far in, or loop it out, and you’d lose consistency. “The secret is in the dirt,” says Hogan.

  13. Show Mrs Tiger how to swing a clubber – Mr Tiger – staight through the Brothel Window :)

  14. ace tips

  15. @Brodygolfs no

  16. Holy crap dude this worked so well!~!!

  17. Talking about Golf grips, When you pick up a golf club your hands are the only part of your body that touch the club. For many years the hands (grip) have often been referred to as the steering wheel of the golf swing. I don’t believe this could be more true. Gripping the golf club correctly makes playing this game a much better experience. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m

  18. He said on the Golf Channel today that he had a secret… He jokingly said he was going to release an instructional video. This was his secret. No secret, just a solid fundamental.

  19. If he puts out a DVD I am buying it. I think he was serious on the Golf Channel.

  20. This is the only thing I taught 4 members of my family, obtained from Ben Hogans 5 fundamentals, they are all single figure golfers…it’s just aswell that he didn’t realise it earlier or tiger would be chasing his major record instead of Jacks, Watson’s still in the top 10 of all-time…

  21. @HIKMIESTER Best Links player to ever set foot on Earth. Even Tiger can never tame a Links course better then Watson STILL can.

  22. besides like Couples,
    Tom makes the other senior players look like a bunch of women!!!

  23. yep, he’s speaking the truth

  24. This makes more sense than any golf tip I’ve ever seen… Thanks Tom Watson!
